WATCH: Carl Weathers returns to the action arena in Explosion Jones

Share This Post

Whether you associate Carl Weathers with Al Dillon, the cannonball-shouldered commando from the original Predator;the kickass superspy Action Jackson; or the Master of Disaster himself, Apollo Creed, in the Rocky franchise, there's little doubt he brings a major dose of machismo to any project he's involved with.

Writer/director Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror, Desperado) delivered this 12-episode throwback series to go90 where it debuted on September 5. Weather plays Explosion's jacked-up best buddy, Duke Firestorm, and Fox is voicing the deceased wife of Jones.

SYFY WIRE chatted with the vocal cast at NYCC about how Weathers got roped into the gung-ho cartoon short series, playing heroes instead of villains, and nerding out in the presence of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
